Is colour price sensitive....
Discussion
When reselling a ferrari (personally thinking 355,360 maybe 456) how sensitive is the market to colour...
A dealer when selling to you will no doubt say blue, yellow, black, silver is rare, you have to pay full price...
But when trading in, not much demand for a 'blue' ferrari sir and knock loads of money off.
Or is this a bit too cynical....
The point I'm getting to, is at some point I want to buy a ferrari, but I persoanlly would like it in blue or black (a little more - if possible - discreet) and I don't want to pay over the odds if this is the case...
On an aside - I have just seen a one owner 456 GTA blue 2000 model 8000 miler, for sale at a non ferrrari (but prestige) dealer for £79,000. NEW £175k or thereabouts..
Why? Is it there just not very polpular model, or everyone scared of potential bills, other reason?
HAve to admit was tempted?
Used to TVR bills (lowish mileage and not actually too bad for a griff), but I don't yet think brave/rich enough yet for 'rari

I think everyone is misreading my question a little.....
What I want to know is how much less (as a rough percentage) I should pay if buying a non red 355/360... Not whether I should or not, or if it works or not. imho blue/black does work on a ferrari for me.
I'm aware that blue is a popular colour for a 456 so am not expecting to pay less because of this.
I may be driving a griffith at the moment - but other driving experiences can be just as fun, albeit different, I have test driven all the mentioned cars, and am also considering a fully restored modernised XK140/150 dhc or roadster, which might actually be a safer bet resale - or maybe not. so no assumptions please about me please. I would never actually buy a car without seeing if I like to drive it or not.
So does anyone have any rough % figures for buying blue/black compared to a red 355/360. Or have you bought one in the past.
Cheers

I agree From what I've seen blue, yellow, red, black silver they ARE THE SAME PRICE ON THE FORECOURT...
But as someone said a dealer said they would hammer you trading in a yellow one... so there must be more room to negotiate on a 'non standard' blue/black/yellow/silver one..
Or are the dealers running a cartel to keep prices high.
